Suniel Shetty, Athiya’s father, also expressed his joy at becoming a grandfather. Taking to social media, the veteran actor wrote, “Becoming a grandfather recently is a feeling I can’t even describe. It’s a happiness that’s pure and untouched by anything the world can give or take away. I’ve spent decades building and running businesses, making films, and trying to create something meaningful. And I’m proud of that. But when I hold my granddaughter, none of that matters. The race to have more kind of fades when you come to that point in life where you realise what truly matters. And seeing my Amma hold her great-granddaughter in her arms is the kind of moment that is now a core memory. I’ll never get over the beauty of such moments.”

Meanwhile, KL Rahul is enjoying a strong run in the 2025 IPL season. Playing for the Delhi Capitals, who are currently placed fifth on the points table with six wins from eleven matches, Rahul has scored 381 runs at an impressive strike rate of 142. Long criticized for his conservative batting style in previous seasons, Rahul appears to have silenced his detractors with consistent performances this year.
